LAKE RUSSELL IS FULL, CLEAR, 50S


Bass fishing is fair. Crank baits early in the morning for the majority of the anglers that fished during the past week and don't expect this to change much for the next week. Those that haven't yet built up enough confidence to throw the cranks in the winter is still catching some on the Carolina rigs. This will work but the bigger bass seem to want a slow moving bait like the Rapala DT10 or DT6. The Rapala DT6 in the shad and silver are working the best and with the water staying good and clean for the most part. Rocky points are good locations on the main lake. The backs of the creeks and coves are just getting a few small bites. The bass are suspending in the channels and deeper water and move up early and late to feed. The big Black and especially the spots are wanting the bigger slower moving crank baits. Rocks, deep water and wind is the key thing to look for this week.
For those anglers that just love to use deep water jigging spoons, some nice bass along with a variety of other fish are being caught using this method. Find the fish and the structure and have at it. Most fisherman are concentrating their efforts in water anywhere from 25 to 45 feet deep. Downsize your line and tackle for best results.


Ken Sturdivant, Lowrance Pro Staff, will be at the Bass Pro Shops in Lawrenceville, Georgia on these dates February 23, 2019 from 10 am until 5 pm. Dates and times are subject to change without notice.
